Finding Strength in Every Struggle
Comprehensive Care for Mental Health, Co-Occurring Disorders, & Substance Use Disorder
No two recovery journeys are alike. Some begin with breaking free from drugs or alcohol, others with finding stability through behavioral health counseling. At RCA, we meet you where you are with care tailored to your needs. By recognizing the complexity of addiction and mental health, we guide you toward a healthier, more hopeful future.
Addiction Treatment
We provide safe, professional treatment in Scottsdale for alcohol use disorder, opioid addiction, cocaine and methamphetamine dependence, benzodiazepine misuse, and cannabis use. Our programs combine clinical expertise with relapse prevention strategies to help individuals build lasting sobriety.
Addiction
Mental Health Support
Our licensed clinicians support men and women facing depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, and other behavioral health challenges. Using evidence-based treatment and compassionate care, we help people build stability and strength.

Evidence-Based Modalities, Enhanced by Creative Expression
Therapeutic Services Rooted in Research & Artistry
At RCA, our licensed clinicians provide evidence-based care through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), DBT, and relapse prevention, alongside expressive therapies that open new paths to healing. These approaches give men and women experiencing addiction or mental health disorders practical skills, emotional clarity, and creative outlets that strengthen healing.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns that contribute to negative emotions and behaviors. By practicing new ways of thinking, individuals learn healthier strategies for lasting change.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and acceptance strategies. It teaches skills to regulate emotions, improve relationships, and balance acceptance.
Psychodynamic Therapy
This approach explores how unconscious thoughts and past experiences influence current behaviors. Through insight and self-reflection, individuals can resolve inner conflicts.
Expressive Therapy
Creative outlets such as art, writing, and movement provide safe ways to explore emotions. These practices open new paths to healing, especially for those who find verbal expression difficult.
Music Therapy
We use music as a tool for emotional expression, self-discovery, and healing. At RCA, sessions may include creating, recording, or listening to music in a therapeutic setting.
Relapse Prevention
Our relapse prevention framework helps individuals recognize triggers and build strategies to stay grounded in recovery. With practical tools and ongoing support, people strengthen resilience against setbacks.
Substance Abuse Matrix
The Matrix framework combines counseling, group sessions, family support, and educational tools for addiction recovery. This structured approach addresses the physical, psychological, and social aspects of substance use.
